All the Cox 1/2a engines I know about use a 5-40 screw. If that's what broke, it's an easy fix if you can get the stub out. If the crank itself broke, then there's a Cox supplier in BC, Canada that has most the World's supply of NOS Cox parts. Look in the "Vendor's Corner" for "Cox International", or start checking around at model airplane swap meets. You might also post a "wanted" in the Classifieds or 1/2A forum.  H^^ Steve
